DR. PARNIKA GULABANI (PT)
Assistant Professor • Physiotherapy • ICFAI University Jaipur
Short bio
Physiotherapy has been a field of keen interest to me throughout my academic journey. My passion for understanding human movement, musculoskeletal disorders, and rehabilitation led me to pursue a Bachelor of Physiotherapy followed by a Master of Physiotherapy in Orthopedics. During my academic and clinical training, I developed a strong interest in orthopedic rehabilitation, pain management, and evidence-based patient care. My postgraduate research on cervical spondylosis further strengthened my interest in clinical research and the application of scientific evidence in physiotherapy practice. I believe that teaching is a continuous process of learning that encourages deeper understanding and knowledge sharing. Alongside clinical practice, I am passionate about teaching, student development, and promoting physiotherapy awareness. My goal is to integrate clinical expertise, research, and education to contribute meaningfully to patient recovery and the growth of the physiotherapy profession.
